265: The Destruction of Luo Jia (Part 1)

If there is any difference between the goddess of nature and the Lord of Glory, the theologians can't finish it in a year, but for the secular people, there is only one most obvious difference.

The church of the Lord of Glory was built by believers. The temple of the Goddess of Nature was built by the Goddess himself.

The temple of gifts in front of me is not as large as the temple, and is only one-twenty-fourth of the size of an ordinary temple. This is the crystallization of the believers in Luojia City, and most of the materials come from the anectopic plane.

The black temple is not suppressed. It has a crystal skylight, which is not as strong as the light, and just covers the goddess' statue. The goddess does not like humans to create statues for her. All goddess temples basically record the goddess's blessings in the form of murals.

These alien creatures built a statue of god for the goddess according to their thoughts, but the face of the statue was a layer of varnish-like mist that could not disperse.

Salin already knew at this time that these creatures in the ectopic plane had never seen the goddess' face. Otherwise, Neris's image would have been extremely suspicious.

Salin and Rex respectfully performed a mage ceremony in front of the statue of Goddess Meles. Salin was not in a hurry to find the divine crystal, but observed the temple structure.

There are countless precious items in the materials of this temple, but Salin didn't want to demolish the temple. He just wanted to take things that he couldn't get on his own plane. Of course, the divine crystal is the most important. In this hall, there is a piece of emerald green branch placed on the altar. The branch is extremely thick and nearly half a meter in diameter. Salin senses and is surprised.

Could it be that this is the Thunder Cloud Tree? Such a thick branch is just a small bud at the end of a certain plant.

When Erinno saw the branches that were nearly ten meters long and covered the altar, he was excited and said to Salin: "This is the tree of eternity."

The Eternal Tree, a plant unique to the elves, is not as famous as the Tree of Life, but as equipment materials, it is much more useful than the Tree of Life.

The best longbows on the elves are all made by the tree of eternity. It seems that there were elves in Luojia City, believing in the goddess Meles.

Everyone was quietly waiting for the actions of Salin and Rex. Even in the era when humans were not afraid of gods, Goddess of Meles was still an extremely respectable existence on the Meles continent. It seemed inappropriate to seize her sacrifice in her temple.

Salin sighed and said to Rex: "Do you do it, they don't follow me in because they know what we are going to do, but they can't stop it."

Salin was half right, Immels refused to follow Salin in, but he just couldn't stand these humans demolishing the temple in front of him. But he was not sure about dealing with Rex.

But Rex's actions have special significance to him. Now Luo Jia has become a cage for all creatures. The souls of these creatures are still there and their bodies have died. They have not completely died with the power of the goddess. In fact, the power of the semi-undead is much less than that of the undead.

Leaving Luo Jia, he will have a way to gradually restore his strength and even his life.

Although the goddess has fallen, some natural divine arts are still there. These divine arts can be completed without the gift of the goddess, including the magic art given to life.

Many creatures like Ismail are also eager to leave Loga. This is the real reason why Rex and others can come to the Temple of Gifts.

"You must have a sense of awe." Rex said silently.

But Salin walked up to the altar and put the huge branch into the dimension stone. In awe, he understood that what he should do must be done. Just as humans challenged gods and conquered various planes back then. Salin did not believe that it was because of his desire for power, which was more like a forced force.

Humans who are already extremely free have no need to conquer the gods. Goddess Meirs has never put shackles on them, so why do they do things that are thankless?

Rex did not compete with Salin for the branches of the Eternal Tree. She followed Salin to the altar. Under the branches of the Eternal Tree, there was a huge shelf. The materials of this shelf were very favored and directly included in the Ring of Shinra.

The mages did not follow, only Rex and Salin were acting.

Salin released the water flow from the gourd and began to cut various materials that he could see in the temple. He didn't want to move the goddess' statue. There were no pillars in the temple, and everything was placed on the surface except the divine crystal.

Logically speaking, the divine crystal should be on the altar, but the altar is the branches of the Eternal Tree. This kind of thing is the goddess' favorite natural thing, but the divine crystal is not hidden under the branches. Salin could only demolish the temple bit by bit and find out where the divine crystal is hidden.

Because he didn't want the temple to collapse, Salin was very careful and worked hard for more than four hours. The materials that could be cut in the temple were cut by Salin and separated from Rex. He still did not find the hidden place of the God Crystal.

"Eileenno, what place will the Divine Crystal be?" Salin had no choice but to ask the elf who knew the Divine Text.

"The condensation in the statue is the greatest possibility."

The god statue? Salin's perception immediately penetrated into the god statue. He was shocked to find that the god crystal was located on the head of the goddess statue. Moreover, some of the god crystals were exposed, which were the goddess' eyes.

The goddess statue is more than eight meters high, with a head less than one meter, and has a perfect proportion. I don’t know what the material of this statue is, but the divine crystals in the head have been accumulated naturally over the years. Because of the goddess’ fall, the divine crystals have no pressure, and Salin can judge the size.

In the head of the statue, the irregular divine crystal has a diameter of more than half a meter. Moreover, this divine crystal is not complete, but is formed by hundreds of crystals. The divine crystals in both eyes are emerald green, just like Neris' eyes.

Should I take it or not? Salin still felt hesitant in his heart. He should be awe, should he ask for it?

"Master, the goddess's own temple, but she never sets up statues." Nelise suddenly spoke from the side.

Salin suddenly realized that this statue was erected by the goddess' alien believers, and the goddess had never personally arrived here. The goddess did not allow believers to set up a statue, so it was not a disrespect to the goddess himself.

"Nelise, come." Salin controlled the water flow and immediately wrapped the statue's feet, trying to cut the statue off the base.

Rex hesitated for a moment, Salin smiled at her and said, "Let's leave quickly and go back and divide this." His mental power was consumed, and the statue was large, so let Nelis collect it. Using the dimension stone to collect items depends entirely on the strength of the mental power to determine how much you can earn.

As for putting the statue in Rex? Salin didn't trust Rex, he saw the greed expression of the mage under Rex.

The mage is not synonymous with nobleness. This huge divine crystal is worth more than the high-level magic core of the same size. Any magician is afraid that his mental power is lacking. Without mental power, no matter how many magic strings you have, you will not be able to release any magic. With mental power, even if the magic string is exhausted, you can barely release a level one magic. For a great magician, the value of this divine crystal cannot be measured by gold coins.

It took Water to cut the statue for more than an hour, and Neris quickly added it to the dimension stone. The mages looked at Neris helplessly. Since Rex did not object, they certainly could not give any suggestions. Fortunately, Salin and Rex had a happy cooperation before, and this young mage had never done anything that violated their promises.

Click...

A slight crack suddenly appeared on the ground. Although the ground here was not paved with steel rock, it was also colorful granite, and it was integrated with magical techniques. Even if it was bombarded with low-level magic, it would not crack.

"Let's hurry..." Before Salin could finish his words, the temple shook for a moment, and the stone on the ceiling suddenly fell. Salin quickly blessed all the people around him with the water-patterned shield, and Rex's mage also released magic and rushed outside the temple.

Ismail was waiting patiently in the small square. Seeing the temple shaking, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes. Purgatory creatures should not have feelings, but when they saw the Temple of Gift collapse, Ismail shed a tear uncontrollably.

Tears slid from the corners of his eyes. Ismail reached out to catch them, took out a bottle carved by a gem, and put them on. He might be the first purgatory creature to cry, and this tears are also unique in the world. It is possible to exchange this tear with Salin for anything in the future.

Salin and others fled to the square. The temple behind him had collapsed with a bang. The dust aroused. Salin looked at the ruins regretfully. If he had known that he would have taken the statue, the temple would collapse. He would have dismantled the temple first. He would have carefully taken out a piece of material from the dimension stone. He saw that the materials in the dimension stone did not turn into powder like the remaining materials in the temple, so he felt much more relieved.

"Rex, we..." Before Salin could finish his words, with the ruins of the temple as the center, the buildings on all sides began to collapse one after another, spreading outward in the shape of a circle. The sound of loud noises continued, and even the sky made a sound of glass shattering.

"Mr. Salin, your arrival is destined to the destruction of Luojia City." Ismail said lightly from the side. At this time, he could not see any sadness at all.

Luojia City itself is a maze of space folded out. As the building collapses, countless spaces seem to be like bubbles, making a crisp sound of banging and shattering. The creatures in the bubbles that did not have time to leave also completely disappeared.

Salin was shocked. Ismail was so cruel. In order to leave Luo Jia, he would not hesitate to let so many lives be buried with him.

As if knowing what Salin was thinking, Ismail said: "Sir, you have given them liberation. Without the goal of faith, even if the soul is always there, it will be painful."

Salin gradually clarified his thoughts. These lives can still be left after the body dies. In addition to the goddess's magic, they rely on the crystals condensed by their faith power. The crystals were taken away by him, and those creatures would inevitably die unless they signed a contract.

In time, that statue of god may not have become a true god.
